SUMMARY:"Here Comes Everybody" by Clay Shirky
DESCRIPTION:  How will we organize together in order to manage action 
	in the new Century? Clay Shirky has some amazing insights. I am sendin
	g on links to talks he made which can help fill you in with the newest
	 applications of the internet and scoial networking. This is a free ed
	ucation folks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_0FgRKsqqU (45 minutes)
	 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2708219489770693816 (20 minu
	tes) Some quotes from the book which I obtained from the Library... "F
	or the last hundred years the big organizational question has been whe
	ther any given task was best taken on by the state\, directing the eff
	ort in a planned way\, or by business competing in a market. This deba
	te was based on the universal and unspoken supposition that people cou
	ldn't simply self-assemble\; the choice between markets and managed ef
	fort assumed that there was no third alternative. Now there is." Shirk
	y goes on to tease out the new ways people will come together: 1. Shar
	ing which "creates the fewest demands on the participants." 2. Coopera
	tion which "is harder than simply sharing\, because it involves changi
	ng your behavior to synchronize with people who are changing their beh
	avior to synchronize with you.\," and 3. Collaboration which "increase
	s the tension between individual and group goals.... the hardest kind 
	of group effort... because the cohesion of the group becomes critical 
	to its success.... For a group to take collective action\, it must hav
	e some shared vision strong enough to bind the group together..." ... 
	lots to contemplate and discuss about these new ways to be together.\n
